Mixer
There are six elements to a complete recording system:
• Multitrack recorder
• Mixer
• 2·track
(Mixdown) Recorder
• Input devices (microphones, synthesizers I
• Output devices (headphones or amp and speakers)
• Effect processors
The Recording System
The MIDI STUDIO contains two of these elements-the
mixer and the multitrack recorder-in one unit.
Even
though they are wired together internally, it is important
to understand that they still aet as separate elements,
When you plug into Input 1, you're plugging into
lLkb..wl:.
nel of the mixer. NOT Track 1 of the recOrder. You have
to use the mixer controls
to
assign
that input to the track
of the recorder you want to record on.
Mixer Subsystems
The mixer of the 688 is easy to understand
if
you break it down into seversI fjubsystems and team the purpose of each
section based on where
it
gets its signal FROM and where
it
sends signal·TO.
Aux Mix: This section gets its
signal from the main or dual
sections, and sends it out to
external signal processing
devices.
Main Mix: This is the recor-
ding mixer. It gets signal from
multiple
inputs,
processes
them f.or level and tone, and
sends them to tape recorder
tracks.
